AUS vs WI: Australia is on the verge of defeating the West Indies 2-0 in the series after Scott Boland struck three times in his first over. The visitors were in immediate difficulty when Boland removed the ball after setting an improbable 497 for victory.
Boland's spell brought back memories of his outstanding performance against England on Boxing Day when he grabbed 6 for 7 as Australia sprinted to victory. With his opening ball, Kraigg Braithwaite was behind. With his third delivery, he next bowled Shamarh Brooks out for LBW, and Jermaine Blackwood was beautifully caught in the gully by Cameron Green, sending the West Indies reeling.

Watch Scott Boland's impressive over
Mitchell Starc then dismissed Tagenarine Chanderpaul as he was caught down the leg side for 17. On the appeal of wicketkeeper Alex Carey, it was initially declared not out only for Australia to review the ruling. West Indies were 4 for 21 and there was a slight hot spot visible on replays. On day three of the pink-ball Test, the West Indies' Roston Chase quickly eliminated both of Australia's openers on Saturday afternoon, but it was the only highlight for the visitors.

Labuschagne continues to shatter records while Warner struggles
David Warner was struck by the tweaker's opening delivery of the second innings after waving his bat outside the off-stump and edging back onto the stumps. He had gone 25 straight Test innings without scoring a century.
The dismissal mirrored Warner's first innings demise from the Perth Test, when he foolishly threw his hands at a wide delivery. Usman Khawaja feathered a catch behind to the wicketkeeper two balls later, allowing Chase to score thrice in the over.
This summer, Labuschagne and his partner helped him break the 500-run mark against the West Indies, making him just the seventh batsman to accomplish the milestone in a two-Test series. Labuschagne's career average has increased from 54.02 to 60.82 since the start of the Perth Test (AUS vs WI).
